Mining Equipment Getting More Advanced

Drilling and mining equipment becoming more efficient all the time as the technology keeps getting better

. A number of different breakthroughs include using of synthetic polycarbonate diamonds to make drill bits as well as other drilling tools; these tools, since they're comprised of the strongest substance known to man, drill more efficiently and effectively, require less maintenance and down time and even last longer.

Another breakthrough is the use of stronger, better drill steel that also ensures a company's equipment is going to last longer, work better and not cost as much for repairs. Additionally, there is much less downtime because the equipment doesn't need to sit idle because it needs to be repaired so constantly.

The drill bits are one of the most exciting developments in mining equipment. Synthetic diamond drill bits drill more efficiently by using self-sharpening technology, increasing the rate of penetration and replacing percussion drilling. Diamond drill bits also reduce the noise level by 20 to 40 decibels and put less dust into the air. In short, they outperformed the old carbide wet drill bits by 100 to 300 percent.

Additionally, high speed still drill bits for mining operators are available; these are made from steel that is designed to deliver top-notch fatigue strength and remain straight under high thrust conditions. High speed steel drill bits can last up to 20 times longer than the regular mining equipment and are made with noise-dampening materials; they have also been designed to fit into a universal shank that adapts to most drill steel extension rods.

Other mining equipment include bit seats and drill reamers, which also can be made from diamonds to ensure long-term effectiveness. These reamers are stronger and thus can reduce bolting time, which means the drill can have a more continuous production output. These reamers maintain the regularity of the hole's gauge, and they can fit into most round or hex tubular drill steel extension rods.

For the most part, the harder drill bits and more effective drill steel, because they require less maintenance, also are less likely to be the root of non-fatal accidents, since many of those accidents were caused by workers needing to get into the drill and make repairs. These breakthroughs can all help mining operators keep costs down, produce a greater efficiency level and run safer drills
